What does the "Original" font setting do? On every epub book I've checked, it is the same as the "Amasis" setting.
Separately, I tried adding a "fonts" folder to the Reader root and using calibre to format a book with a custom font. Of course, the font path must be correct in the CSS, as noted in T1 threads here. It works. However, you can no longer select any of the T3 built-in fonts when viewing that book.
A short summary of what I have found so far:
Custom fonts can be added to the T3 in a similar way as the stock 350, using a fonts folder on the Reader and the CSS font path:
---src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/YOUR_FONT---
In this case, you cannot change the font in this book on the T3.
Embedded fonts via calibre with no CSS work on the T3.
Here, also, you cannot change the font in this book on the T3.
Books previously formatted in calibre with custom fonts for the 350 (using the 350 font path) have no adverse effect on the T3. The old CSS has no effect on fonts, but you can change to any of the stock T3 fonts on the fly. Other calibre conversion settings, e.g. margins, work nicely.
After all of this, I still can't make any sense of what the T3 "Original" font setting does. It's Amasis in every epub where you can change the font!
BTW, this is a really nice reader. I skipped the previous T's, but had to get this one in case Sony drops out of the ereader market completely. I do miss some of the features from the 350 with PRS+, but the T3 will be just fine. It's an elegant piece of hardware.
